Garand Thumb tries the L85A1, the standard issue for the United Kingdom's military. The British Army’s L85A1, a contentious bullpup rifle, uses the NATO standard 5.56mm ammunition. Despite its initial reliability problems, it is highly accurate and versatile, featuring under-barrel grenade launchers. Even after its upgrade to the A2 standard, its reputation is still divided due to its early difficulties in severe conditions.

There are airsoft versions of this rifle available in the market.

A review from Hyperdouraku on the G&G Armament L85A1 and AFV AEGs comes with an interesting trivia why there is no Japanese airsoft company offering an L85 airsoft version these days. It is whispered in Japanese airsoft circles that there is a jinx for those who offered an airsoft L85, they go bankrupt. So most stuck with the FAMAS or Steyr when making Bullpup airsoft guns. The only L85A1 and AFV that we can find are those offered by companies outside Japan such as G&G Armament.
